A consultant firm hired by the city of Jackson to help with City Council redistricting efforts said it's almost ready to submit a final remap proposal for the council's vote.

D.L. Johnson Consultants said the proposal relies heavily on the input of each council member.

The Clarion-Ledger reported that Hollis Watkins, one of the consultants, noted in a progress report Tuesday that there is a dispute over what the final plan should look like. Watkins said the disagreement between council members Frank Bluntson and LaRita Cooper-Stokes was the only thing holding up the plan.

Watkins said that if the agreement isn't resolved, the consultants will provide two proposals, each adopting one of the council members' position.
